Blue Stilton Cheese

Stilton, first made in the Midlands of England, takes its name from the village of Stilton. Ironically, Stilton has never been made there. The blue cheese was actually made in a nearby town, Melton Mowbray, but sold in the shops of Stilton.

Milder than Roquefort or Gorgonzola, Stilton has a rich and mellow flavor with a pungent aftertaste. Stilton is creamy with a subtle, yeasty sweetness and a salty, nutty finish.
